...other time since the early '50s. That in turn means heftier profits for new publishers and for the comic-book industry's leaders: Marvel (1985 sales: $100 million) and DC Comics (a reported $70 million), both based in New York City, and Archie Comic Publications ($20 million) of Mamaroneck...
Zoeller is right about the game's impolite tendencies. Ten years ago, venerable Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, N.Y., was outfitted by the United States Golf Association as retaliation for Johnny Miller's final 63 in the previous Open.

His junior-high sweetheart Linda, his wife less than a year then, remembers that as the lowest point. "Wives weren't allowed in the clubhouse," she says. "I was out in the rain, the workmen were...
Watson being a Stanford man, Pebble Beach on northern California's shiny Monterey peninsula was a natural setting of his dreams. But the Open was an annual occasion for his nightmares. In 1974 freckled Tom Sawyer-Watson, 24, from Kansas City, led the Open at Winged Foot, Mamaroneck, N.Y., at the end of three rounds but then faltered miserably...
